hellothere Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Has anyone ever got the to do a set-up, levelling or any other work on their bass? Or dealt with them in any other way? I have heard good things but would just like to check before I let them fiddle around with my basses Quote
chris_b Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Why would you think that a guy who can design, make and sell hundreds of £1000 plus basses won't be able to do a good set up on your bass? Quote
hellothere Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 Well I am not aware how large a company it is, if he does everything himself then I have no doubt he will exceed my expectations. And it is allways better to check these things. Quote
martthebass Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Did a set up on my SR5 fretless a month ago, great job and very reasonable. Quote
markorbit Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I think you can trust Jon and any colleagues he may have to safely take care of your basses. I've dealt with Jon on two occasions and he knows his stuff. Quote

His work is top drawer. Quote
hellothere Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 Well he obviously comes highly recommended. And homer, this wasn't any refelction on the man himself, I was just checking... Quote
niceguyhomer Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Sorry, us Shuker types kinda get defensive at times - daft innit Quote
Dood Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 [quote name='hellothere' post='1153298' date='Mar 8 2011, 02:21 AM']*cowers*[/quote] Heh heh! - When you go see Jon, take some choccy biccies along as well. Bless him, he works so hard I don't think he gets out much! - Oh and if he offers a viewing of the fine wood store, I'd highly recommend it (if you can resist the temptation of a new bass that is!!) ;o) Here's another +1 for Jon's immaculate work.

BigRedX Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I don't know what the deal is with set-ups and repairs, but from reading the many build threads here for Shuker basses, while his work is up there with all the other UK custom luthiers, he's now become a very busy man and his projected completion times are guesstimates at best.

Rblake80 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Jon Shuker is the man! But I usually take him some cider... Quote
